17th Training Wing 

U.S. Air Force

The 17th Training Wing is a United States Air Force unit based at Goodfellow Air Force Base in Texas. It is responsible for providing technical training and combat support training to airmen and other military personnel. The wing is comprised of several squadrons specializing in various aspects of intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance. Its mission is to develop and deliver exceptional intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance professionals for the Air Force and Department of Defense.

The 3785 Field Training Wing was a unit of the United States Air Force, established during the post-World War II era to provide advanced training for aircrews and support personnel. Activated at Sheppard Air Force Base, Texas, the wing played a critical role in preparing service members for operational assignments during the early years of the Cold War. Its curriculum included technical instruction in aircraft maintenance, electronics, and other essential specialties vital to Air Force readiness. The 3785 Field Training Wing was eventually inactivated as part of a broader reorganization of Air Training Command in the 1950s, with its mission absorbed by successor units.
